	~~''as explained by user adaptr on #samba on freenode:''~~

	Each machine that participates in a netbios/smb network (or workgroup) is both client and server - it takes services and advertises them. Any machine at least advertises the <u>MACHINE</u> service – just its own netbios machine name with a specific SMB service type – so even if it's only trying to browse or auth to an SMB server, that client offers its own service data to what is known as the [[SMB/master browser\|master browser]].

	~~''user kukks adds:''~~

	~~To get more debug info from the cifs kernel module, use the following as root:~~
	~~echo 7 > /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI~~
	~~This will instruct cifs vfs to write more debug stuff to the kernel log.~~
	~~===can't browse into folders===~~
	~~The following lines in [[smb.conf]] fix a common problem where you can see folders underneath a share but can't browse into them (this may only be a problem if they are symbolic links):~~
	~~# 2010-04-20 makes wide links work again~~
	~~# allows samba to show/include symbolic-linked folders and files:~~
	~~follow symlinks = yes~~
	~~# allows links to targets not within the shared folder~~
	~~wide links = yes~~
	~~# disable option incompatible with wide links~~
	~~unix extensions = no~~
